cifs: remove unused ip_address field in struct TCP_Server_Info
Makes sense - plan to merge this and two others of yours into cifs-2.6.git today or tomorrow.

[PATCH] Staging: dt3155: fix coding style issues in dt3155_drv.c

I have realised how it works now and wont mess it up again and have no idea how to reverse chain the 3 patches. This now fixes up all checkpa... 6 Jul 2010 14:29

[PATCH 5/7] vfs: add prepend_path() helper
Split off prepend_path() from __d_path(). This new helper takes an end-of-buffer pointer and buffer-length pointer just like the other prepend_* functions. Move the " (deleted)" postfix out to __d_path(). This patch doesn't change any functionality but paves the way for the following patches. Signed-off-by: ... 6 Jul 2010 14:29

[PATCH 6/7] vfs: only add " (deleted)" where necessary
__d_path() has 4 callers: d_path() sys_getcwd() seq_path_root() tomoyo_realpath_from_path2() Of these the only one which needs the " (deleted)" ending is d_path(). sys_getcwd() checks for existence before calling __d_path(). seq_path_root() is used to show the mountpoint path in /proc/PID/mounti... 6 Jul 2010 14:29
